Send Help To Haiti

The usual posts about hair, makeup and fashion will come later — right now my heart aches for Haiti. The already-suffering island nation was just hit with a 7.0 earthquake. A hospital has collapsed. Government buildings have been severely damaged. There was a major tsunami watch, earlier. Reports of major devastation are just starting to pour in via the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and CNN.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Haiti, and anyone with friends or family in Haiti right now.
When you witness something like this, it can make you feel helpless. But you CAN help. By donating to charities that are directly involved in relief efforts.

If you know of a Haitian charity specifically working towards these urgent relief efforts, please add it to the comments. And if you can, please give to our Caribbean brothers and sisters in need. If you can’t, then send your thoughts and prayers to the people of Haiti in the face of this catastrophe.

Thank you and everyone so much for posting these websites for donations. Please pray our Haitian brothers and sisters.
Pam

I'm hearing from friends who have called my family from Haiti that it's primarily the city of Port au Prince that has seen devastation. If they live far from the capital (north of Port au Prince), try not to worry.
Also at the moment there is one phone company in Haiti that is working and it is Haitel. It'll take time for the rest to get back up.
Prayers go out to the people of Haiti...stay strong. I've been praying all afternoon for my family and thank God they're ok.

The devastation from this earthquake is incredible, and exacerbates living conditions for our already vulnerable Caribbean brothers & sisters in Haiti.

Why should we care? 1) As human beings we have a responsibility to one another; 2)Let us remember that in 1791 Haiti paved the way for all of us enslaved beings to be free. She showed us that freedom was possible within our lifetime. For that, we owe her a great amount of gratitude. What better way to say thank you than to help her in her time of need.

It is devasting to hear about has happened to Haiti - their continued suffering through hurricanes, lack of money and food and now this just stacks so much misery on these Caribbean people. Here in Trinidad and Tobago our Government as well as the local arm of Red Cross and many private citizens have been rallying the collection of foodstuffs and other necessary supplies such as medicines and clothes - appeals have been made via the media and email.
Our prayers go out to them. Thank you for posting on such an important issue.

I do not even understand how I finished up here, however I thought
this publish was once good. I do not understand who you're but certainly
you're going to a famous blogger in the event you aren't already.
Cheers!

of course like your web-site but you need to test
the spelling on several of your posts. Several of them are
rife with spelling problems and I to find it very troublesome to tell the reality nevertheless
I will surely come again again.
